Bio:
ecsedi Báthory Erzsébet was born in her family’s vast estate in Nyírbátor, Hungary on the 7th of August, 1560. Born as the second daughter to Anna and George Bathory, Elizabeth enjoyed a life of privelage that few would know of, even amongst that of the other aristocrats. The Bathory family was one of the most powerful houses in Hungary with a great many connections that made them a force to be reckoned with. Because of that, Elizabeth was groomed for greatness, having a private tutor who schooled her in many things, including languages, reading and writing. She was very intelligent and mature for her young age and even when she was little, she was beautiful. It was because of these factors that her father sought to marry her off instead of her elder sister Victoria.
Back in those days, marriages of convenience amongst nobles was commonplace and Elizabeth had known it would happen so why bother fighting it? She was engaged to Ferenc Nádasdy when she was fourteen and a year later she was married. While there was no real love in the relationship to start, it could be said that Elizabeth adored her husband. He was a lot like her in many ways, a fierce warrior and their marriage was one of the most powerful unions there could be within Hungary. Elizabeth had been taught at a young age to value power and showed ambition so being as powerful as she was now was something that sat well with her. Hungary was constantly at war with the Turks and so it was not surprising when Elizabeth would be left on her own for months at a time while her husband was away at war.
It was hard to say just when Elizabeth began to show a cruel streak towards those beneath her. It could have easily started with a simple punishment to a misbehaving servant that went too far or perhaps Elizabeth always had the compulsion to bring harm to others. Elizabeth herself could not really remember the catalyst that took her from powerful aristocrat to the legendary blood countess but surely all that mattered was that it happened. Cruelty towards servants was commonplace in that age, those in power had to show those without power just who was boss and they did with a vengeance. It wasn't considered torture at first, simply punishment that was set to fit the crime. No one stole from Elizabeth Bathory without being punished for their actions, even mere rumors of such things happening were met with swift justice.
Years passed without event, their rise to power continued as did the war with Hungary. In that time, Elizabeth gave birth to to six children, all of which she loved and were cared for by governesses since their mother was too busy to care for them. It was not that she did not care for her children, she did but rather she had more important things to do in her husband's long absences.
